This is a scam. They actually send you the check, have you deposit it, and when the funds are available then you send them 90% of the funds. But then later, about 10 days the bank realizes that the original check was drawn fraudulently and comes back to you for all 100%.

This is a money laundering scam 1 - it's against the law for ANY employer to ask your sex or age so right there you know this is not a legitimate offer 2 - NO real company would use a free @aol email address 3 - Someone who was actually American would say United States, not United State This is a Nigerian scam that will send you counterfeit checks/money orders then ask you to deposit them, then wire the money to their "supplier" through Western Union to order supplies Delete it and report ASAP to the site where you saw the job posted before someone actually falls for this

Total scam. Does it say something about Nigeria? Total scam, plus with all the changes to the privacy act you have to show ID to cash checks at a lot of banks now.

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org)and the national fraud center (www.fraud.org). These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can find details about its ownership,how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers. You can find more detailed information about a company at http://tinyurl.com/gtb89

Yes, and give no one any money, or any account numbers.
THey can steal and steal, and you need to report them to abuse either yahoo or whatever ISP you have.
They have stolen the money, because after the bank gives you the money, you are still responsible. Then 3 weeks later the bank informs you that the checks are no good.
YOU are responsible for everything.
Tell the FBI about this scam.
GOD bless.

This is most certainly a Scam! If you reply to them, they will ask for your banking information to deposit checks into. Then they will take money from your accounts. Dont do it. I personally have received these in my spam folder and immediatly trashed them.

Yep, it's a phishing scam. Report it to your ISP.
